CINCINNATI, April 12.-Dr. McGlynn ar
rived this morning. Some of his friends
desired to introduce him to representative
business men Of the Chamber OF Commerce

and authority of his church, ne had no
sympathy with DR.. McGlynn's position
and that as az good citizen. he could not
in any sense recognize the false theories
which the doctor was attempting to pro-
pagate. As a member of the Chamber OF
Commerce, the same views compelled him
to decline. Others who were approached
took the same position and thus DR.. Nc
Glynn was not a visitor on the change.

blowing forty miles ar h,ur, carried the
flames over and through the dry grass at

property commenced near Roscoe, in Ora

the country for two and a half miles in
width and as the wind carried it north it
was constantly spreading until

Solomon river, three miles east OF Dins-
more. Few horses were burned and every
stable, with it's stacks OF hay and cribs of
grain was burned, leaving hundreds Of
farmers almost destitute. 1t is pitiful to
pass over the burned district and see
thousands of burned chickens, turkeys and
hundreds OF hogs with occasional horses
and numerous cattle. Almost every far
mer lost from so to 500 bushels of corn,
besides small grain. 1t is definitely known
that from thirteen to sixteen lives were
lost in the two companies, but the names
have not been learned.

from Solomon is not known, but it must
have travelled a long distance. At the
same time another fire swept down the
fork to a point near Milbrook,
sweeping everything and burning six per-
sons to death-father, mother and four
children-and a large number OF cattle,
horses, hogs and poultry. In one instance

child. When the fire was discovered p
